Difference between Potassium in biology and Voltage-gated potassium channel

Potassium in biology vs. Voltage-gated potassium channel

Potassium is an essential mineral micronutrient and is the main intracellular ion for all types of cells. Voltage-gated potassium channels (VGKCs) are transmembrane channels specific for potassium and sensitive to voltage changes in the cell's membrane potential.

Similarities between Potassium in biology and Voltage-gated potassium channel

Potassium in biology and Voltage-gated potassium channel have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Action potential, Ion, Membrane potential, Potassium channel, X-ray crystallography.

Action potential

In physiology, an action potential occurs when the membrane potential of a specific axon location rapidly rises and falls: this depolarisation then causes adjacent locations to similarly depolarise.

Ion

An ion is an atom or molecule that has a non-zero net electrical charge (its total number of electrons is not equal to its total number of protons).

X-ray crystallography

X-ray crystallography is a technique used for determining the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal, in which the crystalline atoms cause a beam of incident X-rays to diffract into many specific directions.
